About Young Monk Hostel

Young Monk sits high in Upper Dharamkot, close to where the village thins out into forest, yet it is still on a motorable road, which makes arrivals easier than at many places up here. The hostel is split across two wings, offering standard and deluxe private rooms alongside dormitories, so it works for both budget backpackers and couples who want their own space.

The standout feature is the cafe-restaurant, which has a wide, open view across the Himalayan ridges and the valley and is open to non-guests as well. Recent guests highlight the welcoming owners, clean rooms, filtered drinking water and a balcony area used for yoga. It suits travellers who want quiet, nature and a short walk to the Gallu Devi trailhead for Triund, while keeping Dharamkot's cafes and yoga studios within reach. A book exchange and travel desk round out the practical side.
